RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: OLLIES THE BOSS (4) produced two great runner-up efforts to start the campaign and was then way out the back in a hot race here behind Apollostorm and Le Cardinal, which can be forgiven. Based off his prior form, he looks set for a good campaign and should be able to land in a nice position from his gate four draw. Keen runs well. KEAYANG SWEETHEART (8) is the obvious danger after a brilliant win here at Melton on June 27 when she sat parked and beat a field that included TIVOLI (3) and IDEAL MOTH (10). She has a good horse’s record and just needs luck from the sticky gate. BIZZNESS CLASS (9) is a very consistent veteran of 101 career starts and will be steaming home late, while TIVOLI (3) has been catching the eye recently and, like the progressive SWEET IRISH LOCH (2), could surprise at odds with the right trip. BACK: OLLIES THE BOSS (4) – 1 unit (each-way)
